My invention relates to typewriting machines and more particularly tomeans associated with the escapement mechanism and controlling meanstherefor.

One of the main objects of my invention, generally stated, is to providesimple, light, compact, inexpensive and effective means for controllingthe escapement mechanism, which means occupies but little space, is,nevertheless, reliable in use and is not apt to be injured or broken.

Another object of the invention, generally stated, is to provide simpleand effective line lock mechanism operating in conjunction with saidcontrolling means.

A further object of my invention is to provide simple and efiectivemeans whereby a printing key may be actuated and control the escapementto advance the carriage even though the space vke be held depressed, andwhereby the space liey may be actuated to advance the carriage eventhough a printing key be held depressed.

A still further object of my invention is to provide means forautomatically breaking or rendering ineffective the connections betweenthe space key and the escapement mechanism when the line lock mechanismis operated to lock the type actions against printing operation.

Another object of the invention is to provide means of the characterspecified which are noiseless, or substantially noiseless in operation.N

Another object of the invention is to provide simple, light, compact andcomparativethe following description and particularly pointed out in theappended claims.

I

The noiseless type actions shown in the present instance are the same asthose disclosed in my aforesaid application Serial No. 331,534 andcomprises type bars 5 pivoted at 6 and each controlled by toggle linksor members 7, 8, 9 and 10, each toggle link 9 having a weighted member11 connected thereto. Each typebar is provided at the heel thereof withteeth 12 meshing Wllill teeth 13 on a slide 14. Each slide 14 is pivotedat its forward end to one arm of a sub-lever 15 pivotally supported on ahanger 16. The hangers 16 are supported on a plate 17 which in turn issecured to the casting 3. Each sublever has an arm thereof ivoted to adepending link 16 that loops un er an associated key lever 17 providedwith a finger key 18. Each type action is restored to normal position byi an associated contractile spring 19.

A contact portion 20 on the heel of each type bar coacts with asegmental universal bar 21 as a type bar approaches the printingposition and actuates said universal bar to operate the carriageescapement mechanism, as will hereinafter more clearly appear. Theuniversal bar is of yoke-like formation with parallel side arms ivotedat 22 to bracket arms 23 supported y the casting 3. A depending arm 24on the universal bar is pivoted to one end of a link 25, the rear end ofsaid linkbeing pivoted to one arm of an angular lever 26 pivoted at 27to an arm of a bracket 28 fixed to the carriage support, designated as awhole by the reference numeral 29. The rear arm of the lever 26 carriesan adjustable contact screw 30 which coactsv with a dog rocker 31pivoted at 32 on arms of the bracket 28. The dog rocker 31 carries feeddogs 33 and 34 which coact with an esca ement wheel 35 supported to turnin a bearing in the bracket 28 and arranged beneath the carriage support29. The escapement wheel is fixedly connected to a feed pmion 36 thatmeshes with a feed rack 37 carried by the carriage. Said feed rack ispivoted at 38 to depending bracket arms 39 that are secured to the endplates 40 of the carriage.

An arm 41 is secured to the feed rack 37 and terminates in a fingerpiece 42 by which the feed rack may be swung on its pivots 38 into andout of mesh with the feed pinion 36.

The carriage comprises the end plates 40,

mentioned above, which are secured to a cross bar 43 provided withoppositely disposed raceways 44 in which crossed anti-friction rollers45 are received. These rollers also are received in oppositely disposedracewa s 46 in the carriage support 29. A c lin rical platen 47 issupported in bearings 1n the end plates 40 of the carriage. A. springdrum 48 is supported on the carriage support 29 and has one end of acord (not shown) connected thereto, the other end of said cord beingaffixed to the carriage.

The carriage support 29 may be mounted for up and down case shiftingmovement on the rear casting 4 as disclosed in my above mentionedapplications Serial Nos. 365,426

ments; that the connections between t e universal bar 21 and the feeddogs is not effectively altered whether the platen be in the upper orlower case position, and that the correlation between the escapementwheel,

the feed dogs, the spring drum, the feed rack,

feed pinion and the carriage etc. is not in any way altered whether theplaten be in the upper or lower case position.

In order to further guide and support the carriage I have extended therear casting 4 up in the rear of the platen as indicated at 4, it beingunderstood that this casting constitutes the rear of the frame of themachine. The upward extension 4 of this casting has an inclined guideplate 49 secured thereto. A cross bar 50 i connected at its ends to andunites the end plates 40 of the carriage. The rear edge of this crossbar bears against the front face of the guide plate 49 and resists, inthe rear of the printing point, the ressure of the type bars against theplaten. uitable connections as fully disclosed in my applica tion SerialNo. 365,426 (now Patent No. 1,767,877), are provided to maintain therear edge of the cross bar 50 against the guide plate 49 without,however, interfering with the up and down and longitudinal slidingmovement of the bar 50 on the face of the guide plate. It is unnecessaryto describe in detail such means herein, the general purpose of theconnection being understood.

The control of the escapement mechanism from all of the printing keys iseffected by the heel of the actuated type bar operating the universalbar 21 and transmitting motion therefrom through the link 25 to theangular lever 26. This results in moving the dog rocker 31 and a letterfeed advanceof the carriage is effected at the down sfroke of the1,ssa,eee

plained in my application Serial No. 331,534

this arrest in the depression of the key lever takes place before theassociated type bar reaches the laten, the pressure imprint beingeffected by a continued movement of the weighted part 11., the ty e barand other parts of the type action independently of the companionkeylever. It results from this construction that if the operator shouldmaintain a printing ke depressed this will not result in holding t e dogrocker in its actuated position. If, therefore, at this time theuniversal bar should be actuated from the space key by an independenttrain of connections, then the carriage would be advanced by the spacekey even though a printing key is held depressed. I have provided suchan independent train of connections from the space key to the universalbar, the character of which also permits an actuation of the printingkeys to advance the carriage even though the space key be maintaineddepressed. Such construction will now be described.

The space key 52 is supported by rearwardly extending arms 53 connectedat their rear ends to a rock shaft 54 which is square in cross section.A rearwardly pro'ectlng arm 55 is secured to this shaft and as pivotedthereto at 56 a trip-off device desi ated as a whole by the referencenumeral 5 In the present instance this so-called trip-off deviceconsists of an angular lever having a forwardly extending arm 58 and anupstanding arm 59. A contractile spring 60 is connected at one end tothe arm 55, as indicated at 61,

' whereas the other end of said spring is connected to an ear 62 on thebottom of the trip- I .06 device. The force of the spring 60 tends toturn the device 57 on its pivot 56 in a clockwisedirection, as the partsare viewed in Fig. 4. A suitable buffer or. cushioning device isemployed that stands in the path of the upright arm 59 of the trip-offdevice to noiselessly arrest said'device when it is returned to normalposition under the action of its spring 60. I have shown several formsof cushioning devices that may be employed for this purpose. That shownin Fig. 4 is in the nature of a closely wound coiled spring 63 thatsurrounds a sheet metal supporting arm 64. The spring is confined onsaid arm between a pin 65 carried at the outer end thereof and a washer66 supported on the arm and bears against a shoulder thereon. The rearedge of the upright arm 59 normally rests against the spring 63 so thatthe upper flat end of said arm underlies an ofi-set lug or ear 67 on arearwardly extended a 68 on the universal bar 54.

An adjustable stop 69 is inter osed in the the arm 59 forward, therebyreleasing it from the lug 67 and freeing the universal bar forindependent return movement under the action of a returning spring, notshown. This break in the train of the operative connections between thespace key 52 and the universal bar 21 takes place immediately after thedog rocker has been rocked a distance suficient to bring about a letterspace advance of the carriage. Therefore, the universal bar 21 willeturn to normal position ready to be actuated by the operation of aprinting key even should the operator maintain the space key depressed.When the depressed space key is released the trip-ofi device 57 will belowered, the arm 59 thereof first sliding down the front face of the lug67 when released from the restraint of the stop 69 and when the top endof the arm 59 clears the lug said arm will turn' Any suitable sto may beemployed in place of the stop 69. owever, the construction shown issimple and effective for the purpose set forth, and comprises adisk-like stop member 69 secured to a depending bracket arm 70 by aheaded clamping screw 71, the threaded stem of which passes through aneccentrically disposed hole pierced in the stop 69. The threaded end ofthe screw en ages a tapped opening in the bracket arm. tightening of thescrew 71 clamps the eccentric in its ad'usted position. The rotativeadjustment 0 the sto presents a peripherial stop surface hig er or lowerand arrests the arm 58 sooner or'later in its movement thus determiningthe point in the depression of the space key when the break in the trainof connections shall take place.

In the construction shown in Fig. 5 the arm 59 of the trip-off devicenormally rests against a pad 72 of felt or like material secured to theend of anarm 73.

In the construction illustrated in Fig. 6'

the upier end of the upright arm 59 of the trip-o device" 57 carries aad 74 of felt or like material that normally are against the lug 67 onthe universal bar. A shoulder 7 5 on the arm 59 nermall underlies thelug 67 on the universal bar. in the rear of the arm 59 and is normallyout of contact therewith and is employed for purposes which willhereinafter appear.

In accordance with my resent invention I employ a line lock mec anismwhich is simple in construction and operates to lock the universal baragainst actuation by the n arm 76 is arranged of the latter.

type bars and revent a printing operation uch line lock mechanism isalso combined with the trip-off mechanism described above to break thetrain of connections between the space key and the universal bar inorder that the parts will not be strained, injured or possibly broken,by attempting to actuate the space he when the universal bar is locked.By brea ring the train of actuating connections between a key (the spacekey in the present instance) and the line locked part (the universal barin the present instance) no force can be exerted on the locked part andno injury thereto can result. From certain aspects of my invention Tcontemplate broadly the provision of such means.

The line lock mechanism includes an upright lever 7 8 pivoted at 79 on arock shaft 80 supported in bearings in the casting t. The upper end ofthe lever 78 is bent forward at 81 and normally extends into the path oftravel of a stop or line lock abutment 82 carried by and adjustable todifi'erent positions along a stop bar 83 carried by the carriage.

' ()ne end of the rock shaft 80 has a crank arm 84 secured thereto. A.forwardly extending link 85 is pivoted at its rear end to said crank arm84 and at its forward end is pivoted to one arm of a bell crank lever86. A stem that carries a release key 87 is pivoted to the other arm ofthe bell crank for actuating it and through the intermediate train ofconnections efi'ect a rocking of the shaft 80. This results in movingthe end 81 of the lever 78 out of the path of the stop 82 and releasingthe line lock as will presently appear.

The lower end of the lever 78 is bifurcated at 88 to straddle the rearend of a horizontally disposed line lock lever 89 pivoted, at 90., to aforwardly projecting arm 91 on the casting l:. The forward end of thelever 89 is adapted to move to a position beneath, and into and out ofthe path of, a lug or ear 92 on the universal bar 21. .When the lever isunder said lug the universalbar is locked against movement, or againstmovement a. suficient distance to permit a type bar to reach printingposition and to ena le the universal bar to actuate the escapementmechanism to advance the carriage a. letter space distance. Should theoperator, at this time, desire to add one or more letters to complete aword or to insert a hyphen a depression of the release key 87 will, aspreviously pointed out, clear the upper end of the lever 78 from theline lock stop 82, enabling a spring 93 to return the levers 7 8 and 89to normal position. When the operator releases pres sure from thedepressed release key 87 a spring 94: will restore'the rock shaft 80 tonormal position, bringing the upper "end of the lever 78 into path orthe stop 82 ready for the next line locking operation.

Extending to the right from the line locking lever 89 is an arm 95 whichterminates in the supporting arm 64 on which the cushion sto 63 ismounted. It will be understood t at when the forward end of the linelock lever 89 is moved to a position beneath the lug 92 on the universalbar, the arm 95, (it will be moved forward. rocking the trip-off device57 around its pivot 56 and carrying the upper end of the arm 59 forwardfrom beneath the lug 67 on the universal bar. The result is that theThis will result in train of connections between the space key 52 andthe universal bar is broken or rendered ineffective, so that anypressure exerted on the space key at this time will not be exerted onthe locked universal bar and none of the parts intermediate the spacekey and the locked part (the universal bar in the present instance) issubjected to any strain, such as would result from an attempt to operatethe space key when an unbroken train of connections therefrom to ploved.

It will he understood, of course, that when the line lock is releasedeither byan actuation of the release key 87 or by returning the thelocked part is emcarriage to the r ght, the arm 95, 64, will be returnedto normal position and permit the trip-oii' lever 57 to resume itsnormal position with the upper end of the arm 59 thereof beneath the lug67, ready to actuate the universal bar on the depression of the spacekey.

The operation of the construction disclosed in Fig. 5 is the 581118 asthat described above.

In the construction disclosed in Fig. 5 the arm 76 moves forward whenthe line lock lever 89 which carries it is moved to the locked position,thereby moving the trip-off device 57* to a position where the shoulder75 thereon will be displaced from beneath the lug 67, holding thetrip-0d device thus disengaged until the line lock lever is shifted backto normal position.

The distance of the arm 76 from the upright arm 59, as the parts arenormally disposed, is somewhat exaggerated in Fig. 6 in order that itmay be made to clearly appear that the arm 76 is outof contact with thearm 59 in the normal condition of the parts and are only brought intocontact when the line lock lever 89 is shifted to lock the'type bars andbreak the train of connections between the space key and the universalbar.

From'the foregoing description it will be tion of a carriage, escapementmechanism therefor, a universal bar for actuating said escapementmechanism, type'actions operative on said universal bar,- a space key,and
